According to the damen und herren at Au-Ja!, news has lazily filtered to the surface that motherboard vendors are currently testing 45nm samples for release products in 4Q07. Now, the goods:


<font size=1><blockquote>* Wolfdale (Dual-Core) 2.33 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=7<br> * Wolfdale (Dual-Core) 2.66 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=8<br> * Yorkfield (Quad-Core) 2.33 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=7<br></blockquote></font>

Additionally, it is reported that the EE-series is going to gain a 10*333 Yorkfield brother before year end. A 1GHz clock spread between the vanilla and EE-series chips is the first time Intel has ever truly distinguished the Extreme Edition line so strongly.

For those of you who are curious, Yorkfield is simply two Wolfdales in a package. Let the "Inelegant! INELEGANT!" FUD continue.

    When can I expect an elegant quad core to be available?

    AMD: Fall.
    Intel: 2H08/1H09.

    But it's really pointless to want one.

    What's pointless about wanting lower heat output and power consumption?

    elegant? as in stylish and graceful showing sophistication and good taste? I suppose you'll just have to tell us what you're looking for besides performance ... :D

    Odd. I thought the Yorks were going to have 12MB cache.

    By elegant I don't mean two dies slapped into the same package. I want all cores in/on one die. reduces the amount of power needed thereby decreasing thermal output and leaves more overhead for over clocking.

    That is what I am waiting for as well for my next upgrade.
